In connection with any acquisition of the Specified Property, Borrower shall submit with the applicable Loan Request a description of the Specified Property being acquired, the purchase price therefore, whether such request is for the making or replacing of an earnest money deposit or the acquisition, any amounts previously advanced with respect to such Specified Property, indicate whether any of the Commitment (other than the Specified Property Commitment) is available, and any other Specified Properties previously acquired by Borrower (whether using the Specified Property Commitment or the remainder of the Commitment). The Specified Property Commitment may only be used when a Subsidiary Guarantor acquires the Specified Property (or in connection with an advance for an earnest
3
money deposit or replacing the same, when the acquisition agreement is executed). In the event that Borrower shall not acquire a Specified Property, then an amount of the Specified Property Commitment in the amount of the purchase price set forth on Schedule 1.2 hereto for such Specified Property shall terminate and no longer be available to Borrower, and any amount previously advanced for or to replace an earnest money deposit shall be immediately due and payable to the Agent for the account of the Lenders.

“(c)In the event of any sale, disposition or refinance of a Specified Property, the Borrower shall concurrently pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, which payment shall be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loans as provided in §3.4, an amount equal to the gross amount received by Borrower or its Subsidiary in connection with such sale, disposition or refinance less normal and customary closing costs paid to third parties. Such payment shall reduce and terminate a portion of the Specified Property Commitment and the Total Commitment in an amount equal to such payment.”
